Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.
Albert Camus
Lying is not only saying what isn't true. It is also, in fact especially, saying more than is true and, in the case of the human heart, saying more than one feels. We all do it, every day, to make life simpler.
Albert Camus
Instead of killing and dying in order to produce the being that we are not, we have to live and let live in order to create what we are.
Albert Camus
The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.
Albert Camus
